Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate Review

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

This is a very strong engine for AMD hardware and we can see that the Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate is the clear leader, with an average frame rate of 41.

  1. no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.

  2. Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.

    AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.

  3. Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
